Radeon All-In-Wonder 9800 PRO??

[...D.]

I am looking to buy soon, & I am just wondering if the All-In-Wonder 9800
Pro is any better than any other 9800 Pro, or is the name just an
advertising gimmick? The explanation I got online somewhere looks
impressive, but maybe it was written a long time ago & was very
enthusiastic. Could any of you please clue me in? Thanks.

The "All-in-Wonder" line of cards are very different from other video
cards (by ATI or anyone else), they include extensive multimedia
features including a TV tuner, closed caption decoder, VIVO (video
in/video out) and an extensive software suite. If you can use those,
there's nothing else quite like it. If you don't want or need them,
there are better video cards for less money.
